Neither of these fighters have a reputation for destroying people. Whoever has the better wrestling would probably win via lnp.

Do you have any idea of who Yushin Okami is? Have you ever seen him fight? If you answered yes to those questions, then you are just an idiot.

I'm going with Okami. Filho didn't even look like he wanted to fight and Sonnen didn't do a whole lot to him.

I don't see sonnen doin much to Okami, Okami is a big MW with good wrestling, strong stand up and very danferous off the ground, lets remember that he almost kimura's rich from the bottom!

lol, alright i was bullshitting a bit because I hadn't seen the fight. I agree Shields is a much better grappler than sonnen, but am I completely delusional in thinking that he can't win a lnp decision?
